ABOUT DAVID KAWIKA HALL<\/span><\/h3>\n

David Kawika Hall is born and raised in Wailuku, Maui. He is a cultural practitioner of Lua and an artisan of traditional weapons and fishhooks. Kawika has been practicing the art of lua with N\u0101 Koa Lahaina since 2011 and was a Charter Captain out of Mala and Lahaina Harbor prior to the tragic wildfires. He is currently a Cultural Monitor for the Lahaina recovery process working with the non-profit, N\u0101 \u02bbAikane \u02bbo Maui. Kawika is one of 20 cultural monitors from the nonprofit, whose Cultural Center on Front Street was among the 2,200 structures lost in the fires. This nonprofit, led by Ke\u02bbeaumoku and U\u02bbilani Kapu has been a critical part of the relief efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE \u02bbONIPA\u02bbA SPEAKER SERIES<\/span><\/h3>\n

This speaker series started in 2016 and is inspired by the idea of \u02bbOnipa\u02bba, its meaning and its history within various political contexts. \u02bbOnipa\u02bba was the motto of Kamehameha V who reigned from 1863-1872. During her reign, Queen Lili\u02bbuokalani expanded her motto to \u201c\u02bbOnipa\u02bba i ka \u02bbimi na\u02bbauao\u201d or to \u201cStand fast in your seeking of wisdom and knowledge.\u201d Following the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, \u201c\u02bbOnipa\u02bba\u201d became a rallying cry for K\u0101naka Maoli national pride and resistance to American colonialism. In the modern era, \u02bbOnipa\u02bba was the name given to the 100-year commemoration of the Overthrow and mass march held in 1993.<\/span><\/p>\n

The word, \u02bbOnipa\u02bba, combines two seemingly contradictory concepts\u2013\u02bboni, \u201cto move, stir, shift, movement, motion\u201d and pa\u02bba, \u201cFirm, solid,\u2026 fixed, stuck, secure.\u201d When combined, they are difficult to translate in English and can only be closely approximated as \u201cfixed movement.\u201d In Hawaiian, however, \u02bbOnipa\u02bba conveys a sense of resolution, determination, and steadfastness that is grounded in action, motion, and passion, and also carries a historical and political genealogy that is closely tied to Hawaiian sovereignty and independence.<\/span><\/p>\n
